Did I, Han Se-ah, and even the other mbers expect it to co to this?
It looked like I was dangling in front of the massive worm's maw, dragging the boss monster in a sowhat unflattering posture.
Their eyes seed to ask, 'Why on earth are you doing?'
"Um, should I attack it now?"
"Yes, please do, Kaiden."
Thankfully, the boss monster, a Giant Worm, was exhausted from its continuous squirming.
The mont Kaiden, in her knight-type golem, drew her sword, I released the worm's sharp teeth from my grasp.
Ignoring entirely, the Giant Worm, with its slightly crumpled mouth, fiercely lunged at Kaiden.
Perhaps it was more bothered by the noisy golem than by , who had been holding its maw.
The creatures round mouth was packed with hundreds of razor-sharp teeth, nacing enough to reduce an armored interdiate adventurer to minced at in seconds.
However, rather than being alard, the party mbers seed oddly relaxed, cheering Kaiden on.
"It seed so powerful, but to Roland, it's just another large monster, isn't it?"
"Is it like the Giant Worms outside?"
"...It is, but it's easier to deal with since it doesn't hide underground."
That's because I dragged it here.
It was faster than , pushing with its massive body.
I only steered its direction.
Those hundreds of sharp teeth couldn't chew up, and our party now knew that.
It's easier since it can't suddenly erge from underground and gobble us up.
It felt like a tutorial on how to handle a large monster.
The viewers also seed to recognize this as so sort of 'tutorial'.
They showed little interest in the fierce contest between the knight-type golem and the Giant Worm, chatting about other topics instead.
-When we were watching Roland earlier, there was a tunnel on the path the boss was taking, right? Seems like you were supposed to use that.
-Maybe that tunnel is a hideout for when the rocks start rolling, like in Terran.
-If it charges, just block it with your body. (prerequisite: 6).
-What's Terran, old man? This isn't Indiana Jones*.
-How are seniors watching this? Bet they're watching with magnifying glasses.
Yes, the chat was right.
The sprint of a 6 tank was outpaced by the boss monsters charge.
If we assu its speed to be around 120 km/h, it's as fast as a speeding car.
How can you expect a player to outrun that?
Normally, players would first encounter the massive Giant Worm, then, like the warrior and rogue pair we saw earlier, explore the 30th floor while hiding in the tunnels.
Eventually, theyd find this golem hangar.
But we, thanks to the freedom of this VR ga, took the opposite route.
We discovered the golem hangar before the boss monster, didn't lure the boss here the normal way and lagged behind in quest updates.

[Reward: Fragnt of an Unknown Dinsion]
Like now.
Han Se-ah's quest window appeared a beat later than mine, as if the guy who sent to this world is telling Heroes Chronicle is based on 'Heroines Chronicle.'
Furthermore, the quest was automatically completed as soon as it appeared, and the reward was given imdiately.
From what I recall, the last reward I received was sothing similar: a 'Fragnt of Information'.
When I visited the temple, it was automatically read, and a portion of my mana was replaced with divine energy.
But this ti, instead of a fragnt of information, its a fragnt of an unknown dinsion.
Where on earth can I use this fragnt of a dinsion?
"Hmm- This guy, it seems like it's clearly hostile to the golems, right?"
"Should we help?"
"No! I'll handle this!"
While Han Se-ah and I discreetly checked our quest windows, Kaiden, be it from a swordsman's pride or fascination with the Knight-type golem, fiercely battled the Giant Worm.
A sound more reminiscent of a grinding stone than an engine beca increasingly intense as the two behemoths wrestled.
The Giant Worm, which looked like a massive lump of clay, tried to wrap around the Knight-type golem like a snake and bite it.
However, Kaidens agile movents kept thwarting its attempts.
Sotis with footwork, sotis with sword skills, she deterred and pushed back the Giant Worm, striking it with powerful blows.
Facing off were a monstrous creature large enough to swallow a grown man in one bite, and a 6-ter tall steel giant.
To so, this scene might be more captivating than even the sight of a beautiful naked woman.
Perhaps that's why Han Se-ah seed a bit flustered.
"Uh, huh? The viewer count just increased by one digit, right? Its not just ?"
-Your stream is all over the subreddit now.
-All sorts of machine enthusiasts are drooling and flocking here.
-Honestly, I do like the look of that Knight-type golem. So sleek.
-Isn't that the sa dude who was looking for the spider's bristles?
-You're not just famous dostically anymore, you're becoming a global star.
So Western influencer posted a picture of Han Se-ahs stream on social dia, giving a boost to her viewer count.
Japanese fans also mistook her for a Japanese strear due to the combination of an Asian face and a ch and started sharing her stream*.
The sudden surge of tens of thousands of viewers just for riding a golem and doing a few stunts, even the ever-composed Han Se-ah was taken aback.
Thanks to that, I could comfortably check my quest window alongside Grace and Irene, who were cheering for Kaiden.
'Do I need to visit the temple again for this, just like the Fragnt of Information?'
While I pondered the purpose of the mysterious quest reward, the battle between Kaiden and the boss monster began to tilt.
Even if it's called a Giant Worm, if it can't burrow into the ground and launch a surprise attack from below, it's hardly different from a large snake.
It lacks venom and only has a few more teeth; its primary attacks are to constrict and bite.
And a 4 'Sword Princess' who learned swordsmanship from the Northern Frost Wolf Knights Division wouldn't lose to just a large snake.
Kaiden, who had gotten used to the armored golem, began to unleash not just the giant golem's sword, but also barehanded combat techniques.
"Wow, with that kind of power, she could probably handle it alone."
-Don't just watch, help! LOL
-Interrupt a cha vs. monster fight? Seriously, so people don't know how to read the room.
-Don't interfere! The moving one is bait for the Demon King!
-So what's the connection between the Giant Worm, the maze, and the golem?
-The storyline is so confusing, I can't understand it. Did we miss sothing?
As the worm tried to coil around its lower body, the golem's steel leg stomped on the tail.
When the worm opened its mouth to bite the golem's arm, a steel fist promptly shot into its mouth, forcefully yanking at its gums.
Kaiden wasn't just skilled in swordsmanship; she also knew how to actively utilize her sturdy armor, showcasing an aggressive armored martial arts skill.
At her dazzling performance, both Grace and Irene, as well as the viewers, were entranced.
Still, they couldn't just continue to spectate.
I gently tapped Grace and Irene's shoulders.
"Ah, yes! Should we assist Kaiden?"
"No, let's search this area again."
"Search? Is there sothing we need to find?"
It seems Irene was quite focused on the battle between the massive monster and the steel giant, as she was startled by my touch and began to prepare a spell.
Seeing this, Grace chuckled and subtly moved closer to .
The two didn't object, even when I suggested we inspect the seemingly empty golem hangar once more.
Han Se-ah had her mouth agape due to sothing in the chat, but they just assud that being a mage, she must have sensed sothing.
They chose to leave her be and assist .
"That Giant Worm usually resides in the southern desert. We know the tower has caves, and the golem claid to be the guardian of the labyrinth. But isn't it strange for a creature from the desert to suddenly appear here?"
"True, up until now, the Demon King produced monsters that matched their environnt before releasing them, right?"
I'm looking for sothing we might have missed.
Given the viewers' comnts, it feels like our quest line got tangled and we overlooked sothing.
Having hiding places in a wide passage doesn't solve everything.
There must be sothing that can lure out the boss monster, right?
They surely wouldn't expect players to shout with a mana-infused voice as I did.
In truth, with Kaiden beginning to dismantle the Giant Worm, missing a few things didn't matter too much.
That's the perspective of the adventurer Roland.
As an adventurer, I believe that one simply needs to tackle the issues on the 30th floor and smoothly rake in the cash from the Magic Tower.
However, the gar side of felt quite dissatisfied.
It's a quest involving dinsional travel and life stakes.
If the progression doesn't add up, I get uneasy.
What if sothing overlooked here becos a crucial clue in the showdown with the Demon King?
Such thoughts began to flood my mind.
"It's definitely strange. Why is it solely targeting the golem? Do worm-type monsters usually target the larger creatures?"
"Not exactly. While that thing might look like an insect, it has a certain level of predatory intelligence and instinct, preferring to ambush the weaker. For example, when attacking caravans, it knows that a fleeing cal or human is more appetizing than a massive cart."
"I see. Well, the monsters in the tower are modeled after outside monsters, so that Giant Worm's behavior is clearly unusual. ...And so is Hanna's. Could she be sensing sothing?"
Thanks to the sudden influx of oddly lustful foreigners, Han Se-ah expression has beco notably peculiar.
I wonder how she'd react if she knew she was being judged not by viewers but by a colleague and a kind-hearted one at that.
Grace, Irene, and I headed once more to where the golem had been dormant.
The most suspicious thing in this empty space was the other broken golems.
